Just curious, looks like this topic hasn't been done since 2017 so wondering what games have made you cry in your life? My list that I can recall:

1. Xenosaga episode 3
2. FFX
3. Nier
4. To the Moon

 

[Verdanth]

Recently?

Yakuza 6.

It was a long journey with my man Kiryu.

Also FFXV. Despite it's flaws, the ending is good.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Final Fantasy X ending .. My GF bought it for me and ended up watching me play through it and that ending . She started crying then I started tearing up and then we was both balling before the credits finished rolling

 

[KàIRóS]

 

[Geki-D]

Spoiler: The Last Guardian Spoiler and serious feelz

 

[Husky]

Prey 2
saddest game cancellation ever

 

[Ailike]

Only one: Fable 2. Is was shortly after my own dog died, and when I picked a certain choice, and went to a certain demon gate or something, well....

 

[JimmyRustler]

I'm hard to be moved by most media these days, especially games, but for To the moon I was really damn close to cry.

 

[MMaRsu]

mgs1

 

[JimmyJones]

Breath of the Wild.

 

[rofif]

The last guardian
The darkness

 

[thisiskupo]

Kingdom Hearts 3 opening, it was weird as fuck but it just happened out of nowhere. Perhaps some underlying childhood memory or wtv lol

 

[Despera]

To The Moon is probably the closest I got to tearing up playing a game.

Really hope that one day someone remakes it in a much better engine.

 

[StormCell]

Breath of the Wild.

Tears of joy.

 

[Bankai]

I cried so hard.

 

[Jigsaah]

Final Fantasy VIII ending. My boy Squall...

 

[ROMhack]

Modern Warfare and FIFA made me cry a few times.

More legit, SotC on my third playthrough. It's just so sad the way the fictional character Wander goes through all he does believing he's on the road to redemption when actually he's just being used like a toy puppet by the evil doers of this realm. And he dies thinking his only friend, the fucking horse is dead.

 

[WindomURL]

Welled up good and proper playing through the new LA.

When Marin sings her song in Animal Village, and then Link joins in on the ocarina I mean I mean it's just something in my eye nvm.

 

[Typhares]

To the moon as well, played it just after a breakup from a 5 years relationship!

 

[DrJohnGalt]

I don't think I've ever actually cried, but one that got an emotional WTF reaction from me was Bioshock Infinite.

Also not a cry, but emotional was Life is Strange.

 

[D-Dude]

Not once.. but I felt some emotion when I got a letter from the Jarl from Whiterun, telling me that a random bandit died... And I recieved some money from him. Moved me a bit.. Poor bandit.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Walking Dead Season 1

 

[-BLITZ-]

Bioshock 2 positive ending. I never thought it will make cry. Strange that is, Bioshock 1 didn't make me cry.

 

[GymWolf]

lately i will say some scene from yakuza 0 and and rdr2 maybe, not tear up but glowy eyes for sure.

 

[garballax]

nier automata fucking destroyed me. i didn't cry, i bawled.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

No game ever. Or film.

I must be a robot or something

 

[rubhen925]

No game made me cry per say but the opening of last of us almost got a tear out of me. The acting was superb there.

 

[MDSLKTR]

RDR2 made me sad the whole time

 

[Xaero Gravity]

The Darkness
MGS3
RDR
The non flying levels in Kid Icarus Uprising.

 

[Cravis]

Only one for me has been Red Dead 2. That final ride with “That’s the way it is” playing. Man you’d thought they opened an onion factory next to my house.

 

[Daniel Thomas MacInnes]

One time, I dropped an Atari 2600 cartridge on my foot. Does that count?

 

[Jtibh]

Mgs3 ending.
Ffx
Some other but the worst offender for my tears was Silent hill 2.
Fuck you mary

 

[Birdo]

Someone stole my copy of Donkey Kong when I was a kid.

 

[Vawn]

None!

I'm a man. I'm 40.

 

[mortal]

Certain games have made me feel sad or melancholic, but I've yet to play a game that has made me genuinely shed tears.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Most emotional Final Boss ever

Masterpiece

10-10

 

[Hinedorf]

Only game to date was Red Dead 2. I'm pretty sure right around where the song 'That's the way it is' comes on there was this total everything-is-fucked realization that you anticipated but the way it was played out just brought me to tears as Arthur rode forward on his horse. I truly loved this character and to know where it's headed makes me question the psychology of my sadness in knowing this is the end of his story or the end of me in his story, either way I found it all super heavy.

Never heard you plug that game before. Is it any good?

 

[ULTROS!]

1. Mother 3
2. Final Fantasy X

I guess that’s about it.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Never heard you plug that game before. Is it any good?

Gravity rush 2 is simply one of the best games of all time, for me the best game I've play in my life. (previously it was Chrono trigger and Zelda Ocarina of time) and that I have never liked Sony games

The enigmatic story, its beautiful graphics, its beautiful soundtrack, its characters and especially her protagonist Kat that easy one of the best girls of videogames ever ( Yeah much better than lara croft or chun li), the secondary missions that show the human values that have been lost in society, the form of narration and its multiple endings.

Gravity rush 2 is a masterpiece, it could easily compete with Zelda Breath of the wild, as the best game of 2017, but Sony's ignorance has not allowed it.

Also to the ignorance of video game analysts reviews and Youtubers who are asses, give more preference to junk games like Fornite.

I consider that the Gravity rush saga (1 & 2 ) is a cultural and artistic heritage of the modern videogame industry, for its innovation and charm. It's been like the Hollywood classics, misunderstood by the audience but over the years they become classics.

Believe me that I criticize the games in any aspect.

 

[joe_zazen]

Last one was Wolfenstein 1 ending, mostly because that fucking song was unbelievably good.

 

[Verdanth]

Wow a lot of To the Moon references, why did I never heard of it?

 

[The Scrivener]

Valiant Hearts for real and

Spoiler

Mario Kart Tour for fucks sake.

 

[Clear]

nier automata fucking destroyed me. i didn't cry, i bawled.

Automata is an emotional flatline compared to the original! Yoko was even quoted as saying that he backed off on it during the process of making the sequel as Nier's NG+ turned out to be so emotionally punishing that he felt it unbalanced the overall story.

 

[petran79]

Out of frustration? Plenty!

Last game I felt something emotional for the character was with Angels of Death

Last game to make me cry out of pleasure was Custom Order Maid 2 3D

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Wow a lot of To the Moon references, why did I never heard of it?

Because is a niche game.

So check it.

Escape of Commercial games, there is a lot of treasure when you go and find them.

 

[Lionel Richie]

No game ever made me cry because I'm a gangster, but The Last Guardian got me DANGEROUSLY close. Such an emotional ride for anyone who has a pet.

 

[Zelent]

1. Mother 3
2. Final Fantasy X

I guess that’s about it.

Wow, we have the exact same list.

FFX was the second form of media (the first was the first Pokemon Movie) to make me cry as a kid.

 

[NotRotten]

MGS4 is the only game that had actual tears rolling down my eyes. When snake puts the gun in his mouth and the camera pans up.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Wii Music, it was the road to the end for Miyamoto.
